Send item abroad (EDI-received)

What this status means

Pakistan Post has passed your parcel on for its journey abroad. "EDI-received" means the electronic data about the parcel (sender, destination, weight) has been received by the system that handles international exchange. The parcel is leaving Pakistan's postal network and moving towards the destination country's postal service.

Is my package delayed?

No, this message by itself is normal. It is a routine export step. Some parcels show it after a failed delivery attempt or after arriving at a sorting centre abroad, so the order of updates can look odd. That does not necessarily mean a problem.

What happens next

The next update is almost always "Receive item at office of exchange in destination country". That is the point where the destination country's postal service takes the parcel in and, where needed, customs checks begin. Updates may come in bursts or after a gap, because the parcel is travelling between postal operators.

What you can do

• Wait and keep checking the tracking history for the next update.
• If the tracking stays on this line for longer than usual, ask the seller to confirm the dispatch.
• Contact Pakistan Post if the seller cannot help, with your tracking number and order details ready.
• Be prepared for possible customs duties or fees in your country once the parcel arrives.
